Here is the Crystol Noel Update: The drew blood - but I won't know the results until tomorrow - uggggggggg. The ultrasound shows a minimal amount of improvement. He was able to see the duct and it looks clear by the duct, which is really good. But the large area of solid sludge is still there and looks about the same. However, he felt she was much better based on how she looked. So, they will call tomorrow and I will have lab work at least. She has to finish this round of antibotic and do another month and continue on the 'miracle drug' and then we do it all again. It still sits that if at any point the symptoms return - she will need emergency surgery. But, her mama knows she is getting better - and I bet those lab test will show it tomorrow. I still have hope that this medicine is going to disolve the gunk and continue show improvement. Even if minimal improvement at a time - as long as the direction is moving that way, I will stay positive.Will let you know what labs show tomorrow.I can't ever thank all you guys for your support and friendship through all this.

This sounds very positive...I know you would like it to be all OK...but this is obviously something that has been going on for a while and it's going to take a while to get cleared up. I trust you that you know your baby and if you feel she is getting better...she is. But, I will keep the prayers going anyway...prayer never hurts!!

A tax deduction -- for your petPosted Aug 17 2009, 02:27 PM by Karen Datko Is this an idea whose time has come? A new bill in the U.S. House would allow pet owners to deduct up to $3,500 for "qualified pet-care expenses" for household pets, including vet bills.

Would the so-called HAPPY (Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years) Act give pet owners a break they deserve? Would it encourage more people to adopt abandoned or neglected pets? Would we finally be able to list some dependents on our income tax return? (Others have attempted -- unsuccessfully -- to use their pets as deductions.)

It's about time!! I know over the years we have spent thousands on our guys....never begrudged a penny of it either...but it would be great to get a tax break. MRI's and cat scans cost almost the same for our pets as they do for us.....and meds...yikes!!

Thanks Sunny - I needed that! She is acting so depressed since we went to the vet. She was soooooooo perky to go bye bye and now she is acting blah and I think she is sore where they took the blood. Tail down and moping. Maybe she just needs a nap with Mama! LOL Back later.

Interesting about the tax deduction - thanks for the link lovinlife!

No Rose, yes - waiting is not a word in my personal vocabulary only one I use toward others! LOL

Good would be pushing it - but eating and drinking 1/2 her normal. My son came over and just left - so I am going to let her nap and if she still acts uggggg, I will take her bye bye and bring a yummy treat to make her think McDonalds gave it to her. I could use a coffee anyway! LOL

WHERE IS MYTIME???????? I was hoping there would be a report from doctor by now.
